Job description

Lead the architecture, engineering, and rollout of production-grade automation software running across a large, multi-vendor network estate for a managed services organization.
Shape the developer experience for the network team by establishing coding conventions and designing flexible, extensible software architectures.
Create reusable Python libraries and internal platforms that support automation efforts across the organization.
Set up and maintain CI/CD pipelines to streamline and accelerate software delivery.
Guide and coach fellow engineers in adopting current software development methodologies and best practices.
Drive technical decision-making and construct solutions from the ground up to continuously improve engineering workflows.

Requirements

A minimum of 7 years working in software engineering, with deep hands-on Python development and demonstrated architecture/design capability rather than basic scripting.
A track record of delivering production-level applications, platforms, frameworks, or internal tooling from concept to completion.
Familiarity with AI-assisted and agentic development approaches, leveraging tools such as Claude Code or comparable solutions to strengthen coding, testing, and delivery.
Proven skill in creating automation that spans complex, multi-system landscapes, including cloud platforms like AWS and Infrastructure as Code tooling such as Terraform, along with system integration via APIs and workflows.
The ability to take ownership of technical direction, build solutions independently, and enhance engineering processes or the overall developer experience without heavy oversight.
Practical understanding of networking principles and APIs, with experience applying software engineering to automate large, multi-vendor infrastructure environments (for example Meraki, VeloCloud, Fortinet, Palo Alto, Juniper Mist, NetBox, or similar); breadth and scale matter more than vendor-specific knowledge.
